 Get This Book and Have Fun!, October 18, 2016

Nicholas Tomihama book's are a steal. There is so much value here. He is the father of PVC bow making. Make a PVC bow for $7 - $10 that shoots as good as many $300.00 commercial bows. It should be in every Grandpas or Daddies libraru as it is a proven way to keep kids happy and get them interested in a great sport. Everything you need is here. I recommend Nicholas as he is Youtubes 'BacYard Bowery.

I was surprised, January 18, 2016

In just 45 minutes, I built a bow with enough force to take down a deer with PVC I just had around my house. Without this book I never would have been able to type that sentence. That alone is enough reason to give this book five stars. To add to that though, the information is presented in an easy to understand and follow way. However, keep in mind that what you're making is a weapon not a toy. PVC or not, I've launched field arrows through a sheet of plywood with ease. And as with all PVC, it gets brittle as it ages. You have to use newer PVC and eventually discard the older bows or you risk them literally shattering in your hand causing damage to both you and the bow. I recommend this book, but I would also recommend safety glasses.

It's a nice intro to what he does, but buy his take-down bow book instead.
